    (2014) Mika, Monika
    Geoinformation can be defined according to [9] as a discipline dealing with the collecting, obtaining, gathering, processing, transmission, analysis and interpretation of data about the Earth. These data are collected for centuries on maps. Regardless of forms of cartographic elaborations changing with the development of technics, the basic function of each map (and especially of thematic maps) was, is and will be the transfer of data about the world in the graphic form. The first maps were prototypes of modern geoinformation systems. In the literature one can find many definitions of these systems. According to [6] it is a computer information system for entering, storing, processing and the presentation of spatial data, which primary function is to support the decision.

From woodcuts or clay tablets to today created and widely used interactive map. The basic thesis of the publication is to see the map as a basis for geoinformation system at every stage of development.

    Thematic map as a form of visualisation of information on landscape architecture components
    (2013) Kowacka, Magdalena
    The present paper presents the possible application of information on landscape architecture components obtained in measurements carried out by means of GPS Nautiz X7, manufactured by Handheld. The identified components indude commemorative plaques for artists, and headstones at the Salwatorski, Rakowicki and Jewish Cemeteries in Cracow. Not only do the measurements serve the purpose of preparation of the thematic map, but they are also carries of various information which after adequate processing could be subject to further analyses and widely employed.
